Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Bills, and a B- to prove it.

The Evan Anderson selection is the head-turner. The Bills reached 34 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Brade. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

They went 7 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims in the 28th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick60 Rnd2 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at pick No. 60 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick99 Rnd3 Ainias Smith
A premium they did not need to pay, Ainias Smith a notch or two before his time. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick128 Rnd4 Beau Brade
They barely believed it either: Beau Brade still on the board at pick 128. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson is a better player than slot 162 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick165 Rnd5 Cody Schrader
They took Cody Schrader at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick197 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaylen Harrell. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick202 Rnd6 Omar Speights
No drama and no debate, Omar Speights went about where he belonged in pick 202. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick206 Rnd6 Trevor Keegan
A big swing on Trevor Keegan at the 206th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick249 Rnd7 Evan Anderson
Evan Anderson at slot 249 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
